GABRIELA NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Gabriela Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd mix - some Dutchie in there Best Guess for Age: 2 years as of September 2025 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 38 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen her with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: Will go from Puerto Rico to Lucky Dog's South Carolina rescue campus for heartworm treatment and then on to the DC area! See this happy girl frolic with pup pals in Puerto Rico! .youtube/watch?v=ZCnFnmM_N08 Special adoption considerations: Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think Gabriela would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure she can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes. Gabriela is Looking For: Her forever family! This gorgeous young girl - LOOK at the unique markings on her face! - comes all the way from Puerto Rico. She's looking for the good life - long sniffy walks, romps in parks, all those great adventures with her humans, making pup pals along the way. But most of all? Wants to know where she belongs, to be safe and loved for all her days. In exchange she offers so much love and intense loyalty. What do you say? Is Gabriela the one you see by your side? What My Foster Says About Me: Wen will update this once she has spent time in foster care Heartworm information: Gabriela is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left! Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.
